I bought this book to go with a set of North Central Florida Prehistoric Arrowheads I found on ebay for my nephew for this Christmas. The book was great and has info that a 9 year old can grasp and ages on up. Encourages the student to go out and look for arrowheads!!


Summary: Great Indian Point Reference
Rating: 5

This is a very helpful reference book to Indian Points. This is a detailed work on how the points were made, what designs were from what region, and dating. This book is recomended for beginners and the experienced collector and a good companion book to "Overstreets Indian Projectile Point Price Guide".


Summary: Thought it was great if you want to learn some basic info
Rating: 5

People who only want to collect artifacts might not like this book since it is not a complete identification guide and does not put monetary values on projectile points. However, if you wish to learn the basic information about what scientific archaeologists have discovered this is a well-written introduction.
